Even Dong Xin Yan couldn't understand it, and even Gu Ningyi himself was quite baffled.
Clearly, he had promised himself not to be affected by this woman again, but somehow he ended up letting her into the house, and just moments ago, seeing her pale face and trembling figure, he actually felt a strange twinge of pity in his heart.
No, that definitely wasn't pity, at most... it was a sort of childhood compensation.
Back then, on a stormy day, he maliciously left her outside, letting her face the thunder and lightning she feared all alone. It was indeed excessive because he later learned... Dong Xin Yan was afraid of thunder and lightning because, on just such a night, her mother had a big fight with Uncle Dong, then left with her luggage. No matter how she cried and pleaded, her mother never looked back, disappearing without a trace from then on.
Since then, she has been terrified of thunder and lightning, as if a darkness that couldn't be dispelled.
